Olympic Snowboarding

Post by Harris » Wed Feb 14, 2018 7:10 pm

Not a big fan of snowboarders, most are one man ice making machines, side-slipping the good runs and jacking up the formation of quality bump lines, being hyper obnoxious, and then there is the whole wannabe gangsta dorky face mask on a 40 degree day thing, etc, but... But I got to say I was thoroughly entertained watching Shaun White pull out the mother of all clutch performances last night. THAT WAS AMAZING STUFF!

No, but seriously, it is only gangsta if ur a law breaker and no one else is doing it. Otherwise, it is just poseur.

Exactly. Hogging an entire quad or triple for yourself because you can't share a seat for 5 min isn't being a gangster. A real gangster shares the seat and then takes from the MAN.

HA HA HA HA

Then you can only talk in your wolverine/batman voice and it has to be about inane things. "I want hot chocolate." "The chili makes me fart."

Stuff that makes Mom's slowly pull their children away from you.
